    When you buy a new laptop, instead of getting your car repaired! as you are having withdrawals from comping.
    After all Tesco deliver, and you can walk everywhere else, so a car is not a necessity :rotfl:
    I love this board, have "virtually" met so many lovely people, people I am honoured to count as friends.

    When you have a lovely morning at the Tatton Show - not looking at the gorgeous plants and gardens but searching out the stands with comps:o
    "If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together... there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart... I'll always be with you. "

    We are such stuff

    BT were suppose to give us high speed internet, instead we ended up with no internet for 5 days, for which I used the local pub free wi fi and my mums internet to catch up. Also they have changed our home number(was suppose to be changed back within 48 hours) 10 days later it still hasn't been and we have slower internet than before. Need I say anymore? :-|

    When you read the IWIWIW thread and see that someone just won a prize that you REALLY wanted and there were 3 to be won in total so you check your email immediately and when there isn't a WEM there you hit refresh for the next 5 minutes constantly - yes I actually did that recently :rotfl:

    A few years back I had an operation, before the needle went in each time (instead of shouting the F word) I would shout Martin Lewis.com.

    Last year Christmas was cancelled as I went on holiday & only got back on the 23rd of Dec, so I really couldn't fit it in with the back log of comping.
